For more than 35 years, Tony Stevenson has been committed to a viable and proactive health and community services sector which works alongside families and individuals to inspire self-confidence and hope. He has held CEO level positions with some of Australia’s most well-respected not-for-profit organisations as well as executive roles in the Commonwealth and State governments.

Tony commenced as National CEO of MIFA in December 2016. David Meldrum, who was in the role for seven years, has decided to leave full-time employment, although he says he hopes to make useful contributions in the area of mental health ‘for many years yet’.
